1 Corinthians 11:1-9 ▼

1 Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.

2 Now I commend you? because you? have remembered me in all things, and you? hold fast the traditions just as I delivered them to you?.

3 But I want you? to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man praying or prophesying having anything on his head dishonors his head.

5 And every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered dishonors her head; for it is one and the same with having been shaven.

6 For if a woman does not cover her head, also let her be shorn. And if it is shameful to a woman to be shorn or to be shaven, let her cover her head.

7 For indeed a man ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

8 For man is not of woman, but woman of man.

9 For also man was not created because of the woman, but woman because of the man.
